Quote #4
"We can go everywhere."
"No, we can't. It isn't ours any more." (78-79)
Regardless of what happens, the shared magic, the shared beauty of the world no longer belongs to them, as a couple. Jig might never be able to get over the fact that the man doesn’t want to share parenthood with her.
Quote #5
"I'm perfectly willing to go through with it if it means anything to you."
"Doesn't it mean anything to you? We could get along." (91-92)
